Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the FujiFilm S2800HD and Nikon P500 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. FujiFilm S2800HD has external dimensions of 110 x 74 x 82 mm (4.33 x 2.91 x 3.23″) and weighs 437 g (0.96 lb / 15.41 oz) (including batteries). Nikon P500 has external dimensions of 116 x 84 x 10 mm (4.57 x 3.31 x 4.06″) and weighs 494 g (1.09 lb / 17.43 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the FujiFilm S2800HD and the Nikon P500. FujiFilm S2800HD is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 6mm narrower, 10mm shorter and 21mm thinner than Nikon P500.
Here is the back view size comparison of the FujiFilm S2800HD and Nikon P500.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
FujiFilm S2800HD is 57g lighter than the Nikon P500 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the FujiFilm FinePix S2800HD (FinePix S2900HD) nor Nikon Coolpix P500 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
FujiFilm S2800HD and Nikon P500's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Nikon P500 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the FujiFilm S2800HD has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to P500.
